the syrian government is losing control of the country. for the opposition. for ukrainian journalist held by syrian rebels who reportedly vowed to execute fifty million dollars. through with its debt. talks with iran hoping to examine. evidence to back their suspicions.

and on line twenty four hours a day. russia says it doesn't rule out the possibility of a rebel victory in syria conflict admitting that the government is losing control of the country. international conference around one hundred states have pledged to boost their support for the opposition joining us. russia for ministry have to say on the balance of power. through. syria may eventually be victorious in the conflict in syria but according to. the opposition. risk. of the country's territory but there are forty percent of

governmental forces patrolling to control territories remaining and that's according to the down of could lead to a very serious civil war which would last for several years with already forty thousand people dead the death toll could reach hundreds of thousands of people according to them down and this is not something that russia can accept believing that this conflict must be dealt with behind the negotiations at the negotiation table indeed some i think some might think in the west that russia may be changing its position on the syrian conflict but stressed that it's not the case because still russia finds the possible victory of the opposition as very unfortunate and on except at an acceptable price indeed this comes shortly after many countries around a hundred countries have pledged their support to the syrian opposition indeed the weapons are being shipped to the syrian rebels in the country and indeed russia

will not be changing your stance according to a book done up at the same time the country is still deeply. embedded in violence and just yesterday and today there were several violent terrorist attacks in the country so we'll be seeing how this develops how developing goes in the story but for now i understand that this position of the foreign ministry says that it is. ok thank you. but washington is accusing damascus using weapons ban for use in populated areas and its fight against rebels decides to further allegations that scud missiles have been fired and warnings that chemical arms could be the next step. on the founder and president of the future freedom foundation says the u.s. has deliberately demonized the syrian government. we've heard this stuff before about you know saddam hussein's debbi m d's knew was going to unleash them on the us and mushroom clouds. american cities and it was entirely bogus it was that it

was a way to get the american people to support the invasion and occupation of the country and that's what all of this interventionism is all about to install their dictators into power look like how the us empire is not complaining about the dictatorship in bahrain i mean there you've got a military u.s. military base so they've got to stay quiet about that tyranny and you see what went on in egypt you see in saudi arabia i mean the u.s. has long supported dictatorship saddam hussein was one of the ones they supported and so this is about regime change in the hopes of installing a pro-u.s. regime but as we've learned things don't come out is there as they often plan and to be. well headline issued by syrian rebels threatening to kill the ukrainian journalist captured back in october expires on thursday the kidnappers allegedly members of the free syrian army and the mining a fifty million dollar ransom to have

a nice well ti's middle east correspondent paula slay reports. the journalist and hat coach never was taken hostage in october hones the kidnappers has held her for nearly two months they've accused her of being both a russian and a syrian spy she has appeared in two you tube videos and in one of those she appealed to the embassies of ukraine and russia as well as to the syrian government to meet the demands of the kidnappers it's very difficult to say whether in fact these demands will in fact be made she read a text in those videos in arabic in which admitted to having participated in the fighting and having worked as a military interpreter with syria and russian officers but engineers doubt the authenticity of these videos believing that they were made while she was under duress now the ukrainian foreign ministry has also released a statement released last month saying that officials were negotiating for her beliefs but they did not offer further details they have of course urged damascus repeatedly to work more actively in trying to secure her release koch nevers not

the first journalist to have been kidnapped or faced the fear of death by the hands of the rebels if you remember earlier this year there was a rainy and journalist who was allegedly killed while doing a live report according to press television which was the broadcaster he worked for he was killed by a rebel fire we also had in november of this year although not a journalist a prominent syrian activist the name of mohamed ruf lie who was also tortured and killed by the rebels for his anti rebel views so this certainly is a lot of intimidation that is happening within syria at the hands of rebels for people and particularly for journalists who are seen not to back their position. but the kingdom is united and some say they're willing to fight to keep it that way regular protests the clashes erupting all day long every decision you like should spend more time in a closet i had for you. plus international outrage and missile test

allegations as it's a backlash for successful we'll get some experts down to country poses any military . phoning short of the target going over budget and failing to reach the desired result greece is a thirty two billion euro debt buyback scheme is nevertheless being hailed a success the country's creditors and are expected to release athens bailout cash money that's been held hostage since some of these people all of a picks up the story. greece has given its financial backers something of an early christmas present by buying back a chunk of its debt from them however when they take the wrapping paper off that gift they might find it's a little less which they ask for as part of a buyback scheme which so i think buy back its own problems at around thirty four percent of their original value recording to the french finance minister but that should be enough in order to see them receive the next round of bailout money that

the country's been crying out for in fact they've been waiting for that cash since june the international monetary fund how to expected greece to be able to get its debt situation down to one hundred and twenty four percent overall economic output by twenty twenty really does not seem likely right now this is because the i.m.f. to say well we won't be lending any more money to any countries that can't pay back their debts however there is a dangerous precedent with this in terms of greece been able to return the money of course private investors private creditors greece well a lot of banks and a lot of insurance companies have already had to take that hits and it may swell there's no way we're going to get this cash but for greece but that is something that the i.m.f. certainly are not willing to accept right now. christmas for britain's or at least some of them and unexpected drop in unemployment crisis hopes of

economy on the right market so we're still getting some of the tail end of summer olympics effect and we're not sure whether when we start to move out of a period you're going to still see this very strong employment growth particularly amongst young people take for example those on the government's work programme now they have to come along to the job centers part of that program and be signed up for mandatory unpaid work experience now those people will no longer be included in the unemployment statistics a very clearly that's very far for a more audrey people indeed these people on the program themselves would consider it employed so you can see you have to be very careful with this not these statistics giving us do you feel like the government's doing enough to help young people can see anything around me. really and how you find the on the work program a lot of young people we stay can t. have you know i haven't found it all that helpful most of. the people are looking

for a job in the same time as me or just an employer young person who. never would have before in their lives. of course is not all bad news there are some encouraging signs in those statistics but it's very early days and to conclude that the labor market here in the u.k. is back to full health with not only be foolhardy it would be dangerous in fact predictions saying that in two. twenty thirteen we could see each other employment talk that one million mark we're getting now that could happen eat long term implications for the young labor market here in the united kingdom right now where things on the press the pace the ventilating. millions the work is all of course the twenty thirty is looking to be very firm a happy new. fighting shoving in
